Slowing down

Writing in times of corona

What crossroad are we facing today? Is it even too early to write about it? Can we even find words for what is happening at the moment? May we all stay healthy.

Time has become a new dimension, health too. We try to combine old views with new experiences. We learn and we learn together.

Hypothesis 1: Our Mother is healing.

Is Mother Earth healing at the moment? If Mother Earth is going through a healing process, we as part of Her are also going through a healing process. We do it together.

What could healing mean for all of us?

What does corona mean for peace?

Corona has globally become part of us and our societies. It is more effective than any army in the world. More powerful than any weapon. It attacks our breath and our heart — our core, our center of life. Corona needed only two month to beat our world’s best armies. Congratulations. The winner is… the oscar goes to… the world champion 2020 is: Humanity. Corona allows us to take care of our breath and of our heart. In meditation we observe our breath to heal our heart. Corona’s biggest advantage is time. It’s not that it shows up, we fight it, and it leaves. We go back to normality and things stay the same. Corona comes with time. It is fast and slow. A virus has become part of our society.

Hypothesis 2: Mother teaches us peace

Corona gives us enough time to learn that fighting each other is not an appropriate logic in our times anymore. I think we will understand that in a few years better. We start this crisis with all our expectations — we are who we are, why do we need to change? During the time of transformation we will better understand each other. A multilateral world order, societies supporting each other, individuals taking care of each other, well connected and aware of each other’s health. We will understand who we are and what we need. We cannot blame the other, the other is us.

Again time: Corona comes with time. We have time to go through the full circle of feelings and thoughts. What will be expressed today as hate will turn into love, simply because of time.

Corona, or our mother, is teaching us of how to live together. Corona will not leave us only because we want to. It will stay with us. Hence it is the strongest force we have seen so far, it will teach us to follow its rules. The rules of Mother Earth. Her will. During the crisis Corona reveals what works best in our societies and what is missing something. A lot is working. We will adapt and learn. I am optimistic. What is old and doesn’t work, we will leave behind, because we understood, we don’t need it.

There are risks we cannot fight with weapons. Our societies can only cope with this risk, if we unite and work together. In the long run, humanity will only survive if we unite and work together. Is it that hard to understand? The song of our century? Unity.

What are you more afraid of: unity among human beings or Corona?

As corona is not leaving us, we will be forced to end wars. Eventually every army that is still in the field will be affected by corona — it spreads too fast. Keeping corona immune armies will be difficult. Hence, not going on war is the best option at the moment. It will eventually effect all armies that do not practice social distancing. What does an army will look like that does practice social distancing? Who is the enemy — the one you should shoot because he will threaten your family or the virus that is actually threatening your family? What enemy will leaders and soldiers choose? At the moment uncertainty is high — so not fighting is the best answer around the world. We can go back to fighting after Corona, if we want to.

Please join words for globally silencing weapons. A global ceasefire.

Healing from within

Corona is strong enough to challenge our aggression inside. It will not leave, it comes with time. It is stronger than our hate and stronger than our pain. Stronger than our will. We will get soft in our mind and body with time. It teaches us “not” to hate each other. Corona is time. Time is the best teacher. Any aggression will not make corona leave. It stays. It stays no matter what emotions we have and share — we meet with aggression, corona will be there. We meet with love, corona will be there. Uncertainty will be part of it. We cannot look away. What will we choose eventually. Meeting Corona with love or hate? Being soft, being open to what will come, being slow will be the way of being. At least this year.

Hypothesis 3: Mother gives us time, for free

Mother gives us time. She needs time, too.

Time reminds us to stay healthy, to take care and to be aware. It tells us to be in the present moment and to avoid high expectations and goals. We cannot organize our future anymore, simply by wanting. At the moment the wanting seems not possible. Accepting the moment without aggression is in the long run easier. Corona has time, so do we have now.

What to do with time?

Time we get, uncertainty and a crisis we get, too. This is definitely not an easy time — not financially, emotionally, not for our body and soul. Not for our society. It is an unexpected situation. A challenge. Risk is a threat and a chance. It depends on how we learn from it.

If we all as individuals learn together, we will change our societies. But please learn with a lot of trust — and with the knowledge and feeling, that we all doing it together at the moment — we are one connected human society. With nations, with cities, families and our heart. Our heart beating in the rhythm of our time. Follow your heartbeat, follow your breath. Follow also your needs.

Follow your intuition every day. Feel lonely if you are lonely, feel happy if you are happy. Don’t be afraid if emotional changes are happening faster than usual. It’s special times. A great learning takes place at the moment.

Love will grow. From my experience of working with time and intuition, what is growing every day is love, is compassion, and is trust. Corona gives us time — a gift. We heal while we wait to end this pandemic. We will be healing from inside as individuals and outside as societies. We shouldn’t be afraid.

Our political leaders at the moment are also working (more or less) together — they have been proving that they can do things together. They will not go on war against each other. Changes will happen, I assume they will not result in wars.

Let’s work together every day to change our world . A world for all of us — a life in good health and without wars.

Wait with love my friend

Stay healthy and wait with love my friend, my sister, my brother — also in difficult times. Take good care and be aware of change. Life is change, the universal law of nature.
